Milton High School student expelled for fighting

MILTON—The Milton School District expelled a Milton High School student for brawling on school grounds, according to a school district news release.

The student, who was not identified by age or gender, was expelled this week after a school board disciplinary hearing for fighting at school, according to the release.

The student already had been flagged for disciplinary action, and was attending school under a “pre-expulsion” agreement at the time of the fight, the district said.

The student is expelled until age 21 but is eligible under district rules of conditional re-entry to return to school in fall 2014, the district said. It is the district's first expulsion this school year.
